NOW AN OCEAN RACE.
The Thistle Puts Across the Allan
 tic After the Galatea.

The Thistle has left for Scotland. Superin- te ident Nelson hoisted the flag over the Cor inthian Club house, and, amid the cheerful singing of her crew, tho gallant GU ter set out under brisk northwest breeze. MT. Sweet, the present challenger for the America's cup, says his boat will certainly be a cutter, and not a centreboarder, and that, as soon as her size and fires are decided upon by Designer Wat son and himself he wilt cheerfully make them public. She will not be built under a canvas covering. Mir. Watson said he would sit down at home and study a design for the boat. He did not know what the results of his studies might be.
 George Clark sailed in the City of Rome. Ho attended to challenge for the cup. and it is said he Lad his challenge all written out, but Mir. Sweet got his challenge in ahead of him. His intention was to build a ccntreboarl boat, and it is lid he will build a boat of some kind auyway, and bring Ter over next year, and that if MT. Swe,t does not win the cup he will challenge for the following year. It was George clark who built the brilliant little cut ter Clara.
 The Thistle sailed in the same cruising rig in which she came to this country. Lieut.. Henn's cutter. the Galatea, the Thistle's elder sister in defeat, sailed from New York harbor Tuesday afternoon about 12i4 o'clock, and if 0 ,ch yacht touches at Queenstown, as they arc likely tp do 1t will necessarily be an ocean race between them. Tho Galatca had about 6Sl ours start, for the Thistle set sail about 6ls . clock yesterday morning. Provided the October winds are not conspcuously impartial, the yacht which makes the faster time across the Atlantic will not fail to boast of victory, although there was no agreement to race.

NOT GUILTY.
Killing not Murder when "One of
 the Finest" is on Trial.

Policeman Hahn of New York city was ac- quilted The charge against him was the murder of 'Jack" Hussey. who was known for many years at Castle Garden. He had won many medals for saving the lives of persons who wcro in danger of drowning. He was quarrelsome when intoxicated. Hahn was not in uniform when the killing took place He had been at the police picnic on June and accosted Hussey near Jackson and Cherry streets about II o'clock at night. At Hahn's invitation Hussey, who was already intoxicated. took two additional drinks of whiskey. Hahn, who had ,ank number of glasses of beer, ran out of the liquor store where Hussey had been drinking, fired one or two shots in the air and then shot Hussey, who ran after him. He said that a crowd was following Hussey and throwing stones at the police officer. Hahn was about fifteen feet from Hussey when he shot him.
 Public opinion is decidedly against the jus tice of the verdict. The most deeply grieved people were the friends of Captain Hussey. Mrs. Hus-ey the widow, and Hussey's daugh- ter both cad in deep mourning, have been among the regular attendants at the trial Hussey and the police had had many contests and though H"ssey had made many enemies he had also warm friends, who were attracted by his bravery and the rccklessness with which he would imperil his own life to save others. These friends and neighbors were loud in heir disapproval of the result of the trial.

THIRTY REPORTED KILLED.
Burned to Death in the Wreck of a
 Train in Indiana. ,}

KouTs, Ind, Oct. 1.-The horrors of Chats worth were duplicated here to-day. dozen blood-stained, smoke -begrimcd, injured vic tims of railroad carelessness or blundering were brought into the villages little station house early this morning, and this afternoon n'ne charred corpses, victims of the same blun- dering or carelcssness. were laid upon the sta tion platform, while three miles west, down the track of the Chicago and Atlanta Railway, near lonely old water tank, piles of fearfully tangled debris marked tho spot where col lision, seldom equslled for terrible results, had occurred. According to the best estimates ob- tainable, for only an estimate was possible, fully thirty human lives had been sacrificed outright and half that number of persons had suffered injuries more or less serious. The eastbound express that left Chicago last night with great load of passengers had, without moments warning, during & temporary wait, been smashed into from behind by a loaded fast freight, plurgi z madly forward in the dark, ill hurrying dre..ed meats to tho markets of the seaboard.
 Some pa of the machinery of the passen- ger engine had been thrown out of order dur ing the run from Chicago. A trifinS stop at the water tank would make it all right, it was thought and the stop was accordingly came the flash of a headlight, the rush and rattle of many wheels, and then mighty crash. The sleeping coach got in it's deadly work. Its massive framework was tran>form- ed Into huge catapult Pushed mercllessy ahead by the freight, it crus' ed into the cars forward, smashing their comparatively light timbers, and making the work of destruction complete The wreck quickly took fire, and the sight of the shrieking victims and dancing flames was one never to be for gotten.
 To-day, on his bed of agony at the little ho- tel at Kouts, the engineer of the passenger train told tho following story of the terrib'e e disaster "We passed No. 49 at Boone Grove on time, and started toward Kouts. No. 49 pulled out of tho station in less than two min utes behind US, when they should have waited much longer. When we were we'll away from the town we could see her lights but lit 0 way behind. We were not running very fast because the engine was on one side.' We had broken an eccentric strap, and were running bat one pair of wheels, having been forced to disconnect the other pair, which were running loose. Of course tho accident held our speed down little, but we had no idea that the en- gineer of No. 49 would have any difficulty in keeping off our heels. The last time looked behind there was ample room between us. We stopped at the Boone Grove water tank, and were there almost minute before they struck us."

 and tho Actress.

NEW To. K, Oct. 12.-The announcement is made that John NJ. Ward, tlse former captain of the New York Base Ea Club, will be mar ried in Is city to day to Miss Helen Dauvray, the actress. It was not intcudcl to make pub. lie the engagement in advance, but the infor- nation got out.

A SUGAR COMBINE.
Uniting Interests in what is Already
 Monopoly.

The publicity given the plans of the leading sugar retiners of the country to pool their is SUI, in $50, 100000 combine similar to the Standard Oil Trust, is unwelcome to those most interested, for secrecy is one of the cardinal points ill the present negotiations As a matter of fact, the negotiators have felt that secrecy was absolutely essential to the success of their schemes
 It is a singular condition of things. but it so happens that sugar, which is ore Of the most ordinary articles of commerce, requires the most skilful handling, from business point of view, as well as its manufacture. One reason for this is that the protit-margin is so small, and, through the refining business in this country is now practically monopoly, it is impossible to increase the percentage of profit without putting the price to figures that would promptly invite foreign competition. The refner is keenly sensitive to any change in the tariff, especially as the tendency of change in the tariff nowadays appears to be toward smaller rather than increased duties.
 This is one of the principal troubles that the refiners have to combat in their present efforts to form an absolute combination. They have practically monopoly of the business now, but If they try to strengthen themselves in certain respects by uniting. they expose themselves to fresh attacks, which would be most likely to culminate in legislation adverse to thelr interests.
 It is said that one secret of tho present ef- forts to form combination is the desire of SOiuc Ol OluCI dlltl lO OuC of the business It is hard business to get out of, for the plant of sugar house, while expensive, is absolutely unstable. It cannot be used for anything else, and the people who want to undertake sugar refining are very few and hard to find. It is also a hard business to follow. because it exacts most unccasing at tention from those engaged in it, not only in the general management of the business, but ill the details of manuf cture as well.
 If trust is formed there will be division of responsibility and lesscning of domestic competition, both of which will prove very grateful to the average refner. Moreover, if the trust is represented by shares, the property will be so divided up that even small investors can obtain interest in the business. Such an ar.ang ment would enable the present re tine;s gradually to retire from business. whereas now not one of them could sell out. Though there are some surface indications that the negotiations are nearing an end, yet several important points have still to be dis posed of.

COMPENSATION WANTED.
The Prohibition Question in tho U. S. Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The Prohibition Liquor Law case of the State of Kansas against Ziebold & Hagelin, brewers and distillers in Atchison county of that State, was argued in the United States Supreme Court to-day by Joseph H. Choate, of New York, and Senator Vest on behalf of the brewers, and submitted on printed briefs by Attorney-G General Brad ford for the State. The case arises under Sec tion 13 of tho Prohibitory Liquor law of Kan- sas, which provides that ''all places where intoxicating liquors are manufactured, sold, bartered, or given away in violation of any of the provisions of this act are hereby declared to be common nuisances, and upon the judg- ment of any court having jurisdiction they thall be shut up and abatcd, and the owner thereof shall be punished by fine and imprison- nent.'
 The question presented by the case is. whether, when citizen of q State purchases property and makes Improvements thereon adapted to particular private business, which is then free from taxes, licences or other re- strictions, but which the Legislature after wards considers detriment Il to the public morals, the State can prohibit or regulate the use of that property for the purpose tor which it designed, adapted, and valuable, without mak- ing compensa ion; and whether such prohi- bition or regulation without compensation would operate to deprive such person of his property without due process of law within the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The decision in the United States Circuit Court below was in favor of the br0W0rQ.

MRS. CUNNINGHAM'S CALIFORNIA
 LIFE.
Romance of the Burden Murder.

Not long after Mrs. Cunningham's re- moval to San Francisco, local writer says, she became acquainted with @ wealthy mining man, the owner of ex- tensive copper mines at Muleje, Lower California. He became smitten with the charms of the attractive widow and subsequently, married her. But dissipa- tion and death soon broke the matri- monial alliance. She was again a widow. By the terms of the will of her last husband she became the exclusive owner of the property of which he was
 possessed, including the copper mines.
 They were supposed to be of great value, and she began to look around for a competent manager of the estate. Her choice now fell on a well-known mining superintendent, an Englishman of com manding presence, and the twain were soon united. But her hopes of increased worldly wealth were doomed to disap- pointment. Water flooded the mine S, and much of her means were exhausted in procuring expensive machinery, which failed to free the mines. Three or four years ago she sold her mining property at Muleje, with several thousand acres of land, to syndicate of Boston capi- talists, and $20,OOO or $50, ,OO0 was to be paid down. But the tide turned against her. When it seemed that she was about to be we'll rid of her costly ele- phant her plans were frustrated. The agent of the syndicate, who was sent to California with funds agreed upon, to make the transfer, appropriated the money and left his principals and Mrs.
 Williams to mourn. Since that time continued efforts have been made by the couple to dispose of the mine. One of the main objects of their removal to San Francisco was to effect a sale, but
 success has not attended their endeavor.
 It is due to truth to say that the last marriage venture of the deceased was apparently the happiest, as Capt. and Mrs Williams have always appeared to be most devoted couple. ...

In Dec, fss8 1. S. Johnson & O., P Custom House St., Boston, Mass, offered eight premi- ums payable in gold coin, which they say crea- ted a great interest among people who Kept hens, so much so in fact, that they authorize us to say that they shall offer Nov. lst, lSS1, another list of premiums for the bests results from tho use of Shcridans Powder to Make liens Lay. Or course all who compete cannot get one of the premiums, but some of the last years reports sent us show that the parties ought to have been well satisfied It they had not received any other benefit than the in- crease of eggs they got while making the trial. For example the first premium was twenty five dollars taken by C. A. French, Washing ton, \. H., who fed thirty hens the Sheridan's Powder for eight weeks. Tho first week he got only ten eggs the third week the hens laid 2ol eggs, and the eighth week aS eggs. During the eight weeks trial he got l&S eggs which, at the price of eggs in Boston or New York markets in mid-winter, would have yielded $46.60, or Sl.55 for each hen in eight weeks time. Con. Sidering the small expense of keeping hen nc animal on a farm will pay like that. The fourth premium, which was ten dollars, wont to Mrs. E. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, N. Y. who in the eight weeks received from forty hens 1707 eggs. The first week she only go 3u eggs, but the last week 217 eggs.
 This clearly demonstrates that tho use o Sheridan'S Powder to Make Hens Lay will In crease the profit several hundred per cent.
 Johnson & Co. will send two p cont packs oi Shcridan's Powder postpaid to any address fol 30 cents in postage stamps; or large 2A pound can of Powder for Sl.20. 10 each person or dcring a large can as above they will send fret one copy of the Farmers Poultry Guide (price, p ccntS).
